THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1907. 17 LONERWDOLPRIGES Not Enough Care Taken With Valley Fleeces. VIEWS OF LEADING BUYER Same Quality of Wool in Eastern States Brings Several Cents More Prospects East of the Mountains. t'lscuFslng the prospects In the wool mar-' kt, which is about to open, one of the largest buyers makes this statement : "The market for Valley wool is lower and prices realized for last year's clip were a disappointment to the buyers. Wool of, the same quality from Eastern States brought several cents per pound more and met with. . readier sale. "Amous the causes for th is is first the poor state in which growers put up the fleeces, tying with any old string, or hemp rope, and neglecting to take off the tag locks, sometimes several pounds in weight. Also very little care In most Instances, has been used In the selection of bucks and ln breeeftftsj being very common. 'At shearing time, generally, there 1 wet weather, and the fleeces contain more or less moisture,' growers not taking par ticular pains to have the wool dry. There fore the loss In weight In shipping has been enormous. "There should be twice, even three or four times the number of sheep in the Val Wr than there is at the present time. There has always been a ready market for early lambs at high prices, w hlch are easily raised In this section and with the wool, fleeces weighing from eight to ten pounds, the sheep would pay for them selves In one year. Every farmer could and should have from a dozen to several hundred sheep. "All through the Fall and Winter the market for .Eastern Oregon wool has been low and dull. With the high prices paid In the West, at no time could a profit be had and to effect sales concessions had to be made. No doubt the buying will not be as active as last season, nor will the same prices be realised.' The condition of the Boston wool market Is shown by the following dispatch: Boston. April 2- Dullness is the feature of the wool market with prices on practi cally all grades holding tlrm. The volume of sales of territory wools has been small. The majority of buyers have their immediate wants supplied. Pulled wools are steady. Foreign grades are firm. Quotations: California, scoured basis.

Only a Few Deals Reported In Top and Bottom Qualities. The general features of the hop market are unchanged. Very few of the dealers can get E&htorn ordors and those that have any orders to All And the execution of them difficult because of the flrmness-of growers. The Indifference of the Eastern fYade Is be coming wearisome, but there seems to be nothing else to expect, as nearly all the letters coming in now declare that the brewers say they are fully stocked for the remainder bf the season. No new business has been reported this week in Oregon, but a few deals made some time ago have Just come to light. One of thorn la the purchase by Lachmund & Pincus of the Zeis lot of 60 bales at Silver ton at 10c. Two buys by John Carmlchael wre the Riding lot of 110 bales and the Morley lot of 60 bales, both at Silverton. at lOfcc. C. L. Fit chard is reported to have bought two lots aggregating a carload at Eugene, one from Summerville at 5c and the other from To i man at 8 He. Another transaction In low-grade hops Is said to have bet-n made at Silverton, the sale of the Oberlln lot of 170 bales at 6c, but the rumor could not be confirmed. EARLY FLORIDA PRODUCE ARRIVES. Carload of Tomatoes From That State Dae Next Week. Florida rroduce was in evidence in the local market yesterday. The Northern Ex press brought In a quantity of tomatoes from that state, which wure offered at $6-50 per crate of six :. - Florida peppers in the same size package brought the same price. One crate of Florida egg plant was received and Quoted at 60c per pound A straight car of Florida tomatoes will reach Portland the latter part of next week. California produce was In limited supply, most of the steamer goods having cleaned up. Ripe bananas were scarce. A good many oranges were offering, but the quality was generally off grade. Do Not Bring Highest Price. The bulk of the potatoes that reached San Francisco on the last steamer did not ssll yesterday at the fancy prices that some of the shippers anticipated. The majority of the offerings were of average quality and breught $2 to $2.20. Some better lots sold at $2.35 and $2.40. The steamer Elder, sail ing last night, carried about 6000 sacks, but It Is said no more shipments will be made by water until the Roanoke gets away next week. The San Francisco market will not long be bare of Oregon potatoes, how ever, for the rail shipment has been re sumed. With the stoppage of ocean ship ments for the time, it Is hoped the Cali fornia market rati be kept in steady trim. Further Drop tn Eggs. The movement of eggs was not brisk, ex cept into the wholesale houses. With the accumulating stocks, the market showed further weakness and was quoted lc lower Poultry was In limited supply with only a moderately active Inquiry. Two prices still prevail in the creamery butter market, the tone of which Is steady. Decline In Small sizes of Veal. Owing to the oversupply of small veal, quotations have been Lowered a fraction. The large slses are not plentiful and hold steady. Pork arrivals are large, but the de mand I good and the market is unchangsd. Bunk Clearing.

MONEY MARKET IS EASIER Good Support Is Given Stocks, But the Demand Is Slow and Trad ins; of Extremely Halt- . lng Nature. NEW YORK, April 2. The stock market was affected today by the recovery that has been going on from the extreme depression of the first part of last week. A dispo sition to take profits on the considerable recovery which has occurred coincided with a lessened inclination to buy stocks. The sustaining measures which have been appar ent for several days past were not entire ly withdrawn, however, and the conse quence was a halting and an irregular move ment of prices which testified to the con flict of forces in the market. The conflict relapsed more and more into professional hands, and the quotations Increased In dull ness. The measures of support "in the market were particularly effective against the un favorable influence of the fall of prices of Americans In London before trading began here. Buyers during: the depression ap peared as tellers to take profits. Seme attention was paid to the news from Washington and some part of the heaviness in the Harriman Btocka was at tributed to the sentimental effect of the position of antagonism between the Presi dent and the head of that system, revealed by publications during the day. The pro fessed confidence of a party In the specula tion yesterday that the President's utterance on the Government policy toward railroads would abate all alarm on the subject in financial markets was not so active a fac tor in the situation. The most notable developments of the day were in the money markets. The relax ation was marked and practically universal both here and abroad. In London the dis count rate yielded to below the hank rat for the first time in many weeks. New York bankers secured $25,500,000 of gold in Lon don without bidding higher than the pre vailing rate. The effect was pronounced, however, on the sterling exchange market here which rebounded violently. Sales of securities here for foreign c' ad to the demand for foreign exchange The funds offering in time loans increased and a 6 per cent rate was quo ed for all periods. Borrowers were little inclined to employ time loans uith caU loans fast yielding to almost joinlnal Ag ureB.
